Birthday Balloons!!!

Who doesn't LOVE balloon's for their birthday?!??!?!?  I do!!!  I would take balloons over flowers any birthday - they last longer!

This is a fun idea for your Primary children to hold up when it's their birthday.  Let them stick their face in one of the balloon's and sing a birthday song to them!

It's SWEET to have a Birthday

This is an idea to switch things up from the birthday candles.
Who doesn't love cupcakes?
Seriously?


These were a little bit harder to make though.  I'll be honest.

If you are adventurous and want to make some for your Primary, this is what we did:
We used spray adhesive to stick wrapping paper to poster board for the bottom (be careful-that stuff is sticky!).  And the top is just a colorful poster board with glitter, more paper, or permanent marker.  We then used the adhesive to stick the top and bottom together (the top overlapping the bottom).  Have fun-you can make all sorts of delicious looking cupcakes!!!

The Amazing Blazing Birthday Candles

These Amazing Blazing Birthday Candles were made from poster boards.  The top yellow part was cut in the middle for the birthday children to stick their faces in.  They love it and the teachers like it too :)

President Monson's Birthday

Our Prophet, Thomas S. Monson's, birthday is the 21st of August (I won't tell you how old he is).  So to celebrate, we had a mini birthday party during Singing Time!!!  Wahoo!

You need:
A box
Wrapping paper
5-7 bows (it depends on how many songs you fit into singing time) 

optional:  Something to put inside the box to give the children

I put bookmarks inside my boxes (for Junior and for Senior), wrapped them with wrapping paper, and then wrapped them with 7 bows each.  Each bow was a different color or had a different width/sparkle to it.  We are practicing our program songs so each bow represented a song to sing.
 
So I picked one child from my choosing stick can to cut off a bow and that represented a song to sing.
I picked one more child and they got to put on a birthday party hat and stand in the front of the room and look through binoculars (to make sure everyone was singing their best). 

It turned out pretty fun even though I had to use a diaper box and when the kids opened the box they said, "Diapers"?!?!!!  Sheesh those kids are on top of it!  But they were happy they got to take home and keep a bookmark.
